Kisses (2008)
Great portrayal, but lack of ideas.
The acting of the kids was really good. They were portrayed realistic, which made out most of the charm. Yet, in the end, the movie got a little unrealistic turn into somewhat like an action movie, which was definitely unnecessary (except they ran out of ideas). It seemed to me, as if the director wanted to show that he can shoot also action-scenes. All in all the ideas were a little few, which were also not completely new. The supporting characters did not have much originality. Especially the ending was little bit too conventional and foreseeable.
Portray of two kids was great, yet the story lacked of originality and ideas. Since the movie is just 78min long, it's worth watching.

I don't get it
I saw the rating here, so I watched the movie. Well, I don't understand the rating. I read some reviews here, I still don't understand.
Of course, some scenes are very well shot, acting is good and so on. But a story with no development, (almost) no dialogues, no surprises just can't be a good story. And movie without a (good) story can't be a good movie.
To watch a boring life on screen is even more boring than living a boring life.
So it's just boring and weird... despite the interesting idea, good acting and directing. Which is sad, since the movie had huge potential!
But I can imagine there are quite some people out, who like this movie... But you need a really special taste.
